DC Weekly Review: May 5, 2023 (Week 18)

Help Support The Heroes We Love: You can purchase all DC Comics digitally through their digital app, or the Comixology service. This month, we’re highlighting Jeremy Adams’ The Flash run once again. The best book on the stands in 2022 and 2023, you can read the series in it’s entirity at DC Universe Infinite, when you subscribe to the Ultra Annual Level (which runs the price of $135 CAD).

Weekly Omissions- Batman & The Joker: Deadly Duo #7, Batman: The Audio Adventures #6, Peacemaker Tries Hard #1

Hero Of The Week- It’s the start of a new month, so we have to kick things off with our usual Bat-Privilege. Bruce Wayne took both Performance Of The Week and Hero Of The Week in a single 17 Point Appearance.

Antagonist Of The Week – That Bat-Privilege even trickles down into Batman’s Rogue Gallery, where The Joker took Antagonist Of The Week, with 16 Points over 2 Appearances.

Book Of The Week- And one of The Joker’s two Appearances is his on-going series, which took Book Of The Week; The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #8 brought in 33 Points over 7 Characters.

Welcome to the League – No New Additions.
